Decades of Flooding in Leucadia Raise Drainage, Legal Questions

Jeff, a Leucadia resident who lives on Basil Street, said it was in 2001 when his home first flooded. “It was two weeks after I moved in, and I had just painted the house and put in new carpeting, so it really wasn’t good timing,” Jeff recalled with a laugh, noting his home would flood again four years later. But for Jeff and his neighbors who live along North Coast Highway 101 in Leucadia, the issue of flooding in Leucadia has been no laughing matter.
